Overview

This contemplative float is designed for families with children (ages 5+), photographers, and travelers seeking a relaxed outdoor experience. The adventure begins at the operational base in El Chaltén, where you’ll receive safety equipment and instructions before a short drive along scenic RP 41 toward Laguna Cóndor.
From the launch point, you’ll float approximately 12 km down the Río de las Vueltas in a raft, through shallow, winding waters and a beautiful Patagonian Andean forest. The peaceful pace and stunning views of Mount Fitz Roy make this float a perfect opportunity for nature observation and photography.
The journey ends at Estancia Bonanza, where you can enjoy a delicious lunch with mountain views. For those who skip lunch, return to El Chaltén is around 1:00 PM.
